OBJECTIVE To develope a predictive model for medication deviation risks during the hospital-to-home transition period in coronary heart disease (CHD) patients with initial treatment, aiming to assist medical staff in rapidly identifying high-risk groups for medication deviation. METHODS A total of 462 CHD patients with initial treatment from the Affiliated Hospital of North China University of Science and Technology (hereinafter referred to as “our hospital”) between January and July 2024 were enrolled. The patients were randomly divided into a modeling group and an internal validation group. The modeling group was further categorized into a medication deviation group and a non-medication deviation group based on whether medication deviations occurred. Similarly, 57 CHD patients with initial treatment from the cardiology department of our hospital between June and September 2025 were collected as an external validation group. Univariate analysis was used to screen predictive factors, followed by multivariate Logistic regression to construct the predictive model. Internal validation methods were employed to evaluate model performance, while external validation methods were used to test the model’s generalizability. RESULTS The 462 patients were divided into a modeling group (319 cases) and an internal validation group (143 cases). In the modeling group, the medication deviation group (192 cases, 60.19%) and the non-medication deviation group (127 cases, 39.81%) were identified. Multivariate Logistic regression analysis revealed that age, medication type, medication adherence, and self-efficacy in rational medication use were predictive factors for medication deviations in CHD patients with initial treatment ( P <0.05). The predictive model equation was logit P =ln[ P /(1- P ) ] =1.321+1.732×age+4.091×medication type -4.360×medication adherence -3.081×self-efficacy in rational medication use. The model demonstrated good discrimination, with a Hosmer-Lemeshow goodness-of-fit test P -value of 0.439, an area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC) of 0.870, sensitivity of 0.970, and specificity of 0.607. A risk nomogram with a total score of 350 points and a cutoff value of 110 points was plotted. The internal validation group showed an AUC o f 0.787 and a prediction accuracy of 77.6%, while the external validation group exhibited an AUC of 0.802 and a prediction accuracy of 73.7%. CONCLUSIONS This study successfully developed a predictive model for medication deviation risks during the hospital-to-home transition period in CHD patients with initial treatment. The model demonstrates excellent discrimination and predictive accuracy, effectively identifying high-risk populations for medication deviations. Age (>70 years), number of drug types≥5, poor medication adherence, and poor self-efficacy in rational medication use are independent risk factors for medication deviations.

Objective To assess the potential role of disulfidptosis-related genes (DRGs) in pan-cancer on prognosis and immunity on the basis of bioinformatics approaches. Methods Pan-cancer RNA-seq data, mutation profiles, clinical information, TMB, MSI, stemness scores, and tumor and immune microenvironment data contained in TCGA and various open-source online databases, and multi-group R-language algorithms were used for comprehensive analysis. The expression levels of DRGs at the cellular level were experimentally validated using qPCR. Results LRPPRC, NCKAP1, NDUFS1, and NUBPL had a better prognosis in renal clear cell carcinoma (P<0.001), whereas SLC7A11, NCKAP1, and SLC3A2 had a worse prognosis in hepatocellular carcinoma (P<0.001). TME analysis showed that LRPPRC was negatively correlated with immune cells, stromal cells, and estimated scores in all tumor types. TMB analysis revealed the potential research value of DRGs for PD-1/PD-L1 therapy in pan-cancer. Drug sensitivity analysis showed that SLC7A11 (r=0.454), SLC3A2 (r=0.366), and NCKAP1 (r=0.455) were significantly associated with Kahalide F (P<0.01). Experimental validation demonstrated the overall higher expression levels of GYS1 and NCKAP1 than normal cells in lung adenocarcinoma, colon adenocarcinoma, esophageal squamous carcinoma, and hepatocellular carcinoma (P<0.05). Conclusion Pan-cancer analysis of DRGs indicates that DRGs may serve as important biomarkers for the diagnosis and prognosis of renal clear-cell carcinoma, lung adenocarcinoma, and hepatocellular carcinoma.

OBJECTIVE To evaluate the influence of pharmaceutical quality control on the efficiency and outcomes of standardized medication therapy management (MTM) services for patients with coronary heart disease by using Economic, Clinical and Humanistic Outcomes (ECHO) model. METHODS This study collected case data of coronary heart disease patients who received MTM services during January-March 2023 (pre-quality control implementation group, n=96) and June-August 2023 (post-quality control implementation group, n=164). Using propensity score matching analysis, 80 patients were selected from each group. The study subsequently compared the economic, clinical, and humanistic outcome indicators of pharmaceutical services between the two matched groups. RESULTS There were no statistically significant differences in baseline data between the two groups after matching (P>0.05). Compared with pre-quality control implementation group, the daily treatment cost (16.26 yuan vs. 24.40 yuan, P<0.001), cost-effectiveness ratio [23.12 yuan/quality-adjusted life year (QALY) vs. 32.32 yuan/QALY, P<0.001], and the incidence of general adverse drug reactions (2.50% vs. 10.00%, P=0.049) of post-quality control implementation group were decreased significantly; the utility value of the EuroQol Five-Dimensional Questionnaire (0.74± 0.06 vs. 0.71±0.07, P=0.003), the reduction in the number of medication related problems (1.0 vs. 0.5, P<0.001), the medication adherence score ([ 6.32±0.48) points vs. (6.10±0.37) points, P=0.001], and the satisfaction score ([ 92.56±1.52) points vs. (91.95±1.56) points, P=0.013] all showed significant improvements. Neither group experienced serious adverse drug reactions. There was no statistically significant difference in the incidence of new adverse reactions between the two groups (1.25% vs. 3.75%, P=0.310). CONCLUSIONS Pharmaceutical quality control can improve the quality of pharmaceutical care, and the ECHO model can quantitatively evaluate the effect of MTM services, making pharmaceutical care better priced and more adaptable to social needs, thus being worthy of promotion.

Debates persist regarding the efficacy and safety of azvudine, particularly its real-world outcomes. This study involved patients aged ≥60 years who were admitted to 25 hospitals in mainland China with confirmed SARS-CoV-2 infection between December 1, 2022, and February 28, 2023. Efficacy outcomes were all-cause mortality during hospitalization, the proportion of patients discharged with recovery, time to nucleic acid-negative conversion (T NANC), time to symptom improvement (T SI), and time of hospital stay (T HS). Safety was also assessed. Among the 5884 participants identified, 1999 received azvudine, and 1999 matched controls were included after exclusion and propensity score matching. Azvudine recipients exhibited lower all-cause mortality compared with controls in the overall population (13.3% vs. 17.1%, RR, 0.78; 95% CI, 0.67-0.90; P = 0.001) and in the severe subgroup (25.7% vs. 33.7%; RR, 0.76; 95% CI, 0.66-0.88; P < 0.001). A higher proportion of patients discharged with recovery, and a shorter T NANC were associated with azvudine recipients, especially in the severe subgroup. The incidence of adverse events in azvudine recipients was comparable to that in the control group (2.3% vs. 1.7%, P = 0.170). In conclusion, azvudine showed efficacy and safety in older patients hospitalized with COVID-19 during the SARS-CoV-2 omicron wave in China.

Objective:
To investigate the effect of phosphatase and tensin homolog(PTEN) overexpression on autophagy in mouse primary cardiac fibroblasts.
Methods:
Neonatal mice(1-3 days old) were purchased and subjected to cardiac tissue harvesting. Cardiac fibroblasts were isolated through enzymatic digestion and cultured. After cellular adhesion, rapamycin(Rapa)-treated cardiac fibroblasts were used to establish an autophagy model. Following successful model construction, cells were transfected with eitherPTEN-overexpressing plasmid(PTENoverexpression group) or empty vector(control group), followed by 24-48 h incubation. The molecular expressions of PTEN, autophagy-related proteins [microtubule-associated protein light chain 3(LC3Ⅱ/Ⅰ), Beclin1], and fibrotic marker collagen Ⅰ were detected by Western blot and RT-qPCR. Autophagic flux was assessed using mCherry-GFP-LC3 fluorescence staining to evaluate changes in autophagic activity. Transmission electron microscopy(TEM) was employed to observe autophagosome formation in cardiac fibroblasts.
Results :
In the Rapa-induced cardiac fibroblast autophagy model, compared with the control group, the protein and mRNA levels of PTEN significantly decreased(P<0.05), while the expression of autophagy-related proteins(LC3Ⅱ/Ⅰ, Beclin1) and fibrotic marker Collagen Ⅰ was upregulated at both protein and mRNA levels(P<0.05). Additionally, in PTEN-overexpressing cardiac fibroblasts, the expression levels of LC3Ⅱ/Ⅰ, Beclin1, and Collagen Ⅰ were markedly reduced compared to the empty vector group(P<0.05). mCherry-GFP-LC3 fluorescence staining demonstrated that autophagic activity was significantly attenuated in thePTENoverexpression group versus the empty vector group(P<0.05). TEM further revealed a decreased number of autophagosomes in PTEN-overexpressing cardiac fibroblasts(P<0.05).
Conclusion
The overexpression ofPTENsignificantly inhibits autophagy in cardiac fibroblasts, suggesting thatPTENmay be a key gene involved in regulating autophagy in cardiac fibroblasts.

Objective To explore the role of secreted frizzled-related protein 3 (sFRP3), a regulator of the Wnt signaling pathway, in the activation and proliferation of murine cardiac fibroblasts (CFs).Methods Neonatal mice aged 1-3 days were obtained for surgical procedures to collect heart tissues.After digestion, CFs were isola-ted and cultured.Transforming growth factor-beta 1 (TGF-β1) stimulation was used to induce activation and prolif-eration in CFs after they adhered to the culture dish.Once the model was confirmed, experimental and control groups were transfected with sFRP3 overexpression plasmids and empty plasmids for 24-48 hours.Expression lev-els of sFRP3, Periostin (POSTN), Type Ⅰ collagen (Collagen Ⅰ), and proliferating cell nuclear antigen (PC-NA) were assessed at the molecular level using Western blot and qRT-PCR.Changes in cell proliferation capacity were examined using MTT, CCK-8, and EdU staining methods.Results In the TGF-β1-induced activation and proliferation model of CFs, compared to the control group, the model group exhibited decreased expression of sFRP3 protein and mRNA, while the expression of activation and proliferation-related proteins PCNA, POSTN, and Collagen Ⅰ was upregulated.Furthermore, in CFs overexpressing sFRP3 through plasmid transfection, the protein and mRNA expression of PCNA, POSTN, and Collagen Ⅰ decreased compared to the empty vector group.MTT, CCK-8 , and EdU experiments indicated a significant decrease in the proliferative activity of CFs in the sFRP3 over-expression group compared to the empty vector group.Conclusion Overexpression of sFRP3 markedly inhibits the activation and proliferation of CFs, suggesting that sFRP3 may be a key gene involved in the regulation of CF acti-vation and proliferation.
